How does it work?
-
First, Parameters and Values
need to be
input into SmartTest (the test data). This can be done by manually entering
in the
data or by having SmartTest import the data from an existing excel spreadsheet.
-
Next, the SmartTest test case generation
engine optimizes the test input set by determining the
pair-wise interaction
of all the test elements, resulting in a minimum number of test
combinations. Business Rules (if any) in the form of simple
English are applied to the test set to require (or constrain) the test
data. (Additionally, interface rules can be used to manipulate the test
input to reflect the actual behavior of a GUI interface before
optimizing the test set.)
-
Lastly, the results are displayed in SmartTest. These test cases can then be exported to a
Microsoft Excel file for use with WinRunner, Robot, or any other capture
/ playback tool. If your organization does not use a capture /
playback tool, the results can be integrated into your manual test cases.
